Your rsync version seems to be old.
With my rsync  version 3.0.4  protocol version 30,
--remove-source-files is fine.

--remove-sent-files has been removed from rsync and has a slightly
different meaning, e.g. see
http://www.tummy.com/journals/entries/jafo_20061226_131404 for version
2.6.9.

Changing the parallel script to '--remove-sent-files' would seem like a
regression to me.

Cheers,

Andreas.
